"Clean, fresh, ripe, varietal and nicely pure with aromas and flavours of fresh peach and grapefruit, apple, some fruit spice and baking spice toasty wood moments of oak. Silky and cream texture with fine tannins and medium+ acid line. Fresh and ready to drink, well made with a lengthy finish. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2027+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jun 2021
Mealy aromatics, subtle toasty oak notes with nectarine, hints of citrus and custard. A textured palate with a powerful presence. Flavours of stone fruit, oatmeal, and vanilla bean.
Fruit sourced from three sites and are incorporated into this wine. Clones 95 (60%) and Mendoza (40%) where used.
No sulphur was added to the juices at the point of extraction which then were fermented spontaneously in a combination of seasoned French oak (90%) and stainless steel (10%). All components underwent malolactic fermentation and were aged on full ferment lees for 10months. Overall, about 20% of the wine saw new oak in 500L puncheon format.
Food Pairing: All kinds of cheeses, white meats and rich seafood such as koura (crayfish) and smoked warehou.
